This week's host is...

Now that January is coming to a close, I'm setting my sights on seed shopping. I'm also starting the extensive planning for my vegetable garden renovation in the spring. I'm completely redesigning my raised garden beds and expanding the area. I will also be upgrading my garden fencing that has begun to corrode and fall apart over the years. It takes a great deal of planning and prepping to outsmart those garden critters. If you are a gardener, please feel free to comment or message me with any garden design tips you have!

I'm excited to share with you my review of this stunning new gardening book. It is called The Graphic Vegetable - Food and Art from America’s Soil by Michael B. Emery and Irwin Richman. This book is a visual buffet filled with images of vintage catalogs, lithographs, seed packets, postcards and botanical illustrations. If you enjoy photography, antiques and thrifty finds you will love this book.

Come be a part of our group board! We love partying with you each week, so we encourage you to share your latest posts with us on Pinterest as well. Make sure to follow us, the group board, then comment on this pinwith the email associated with your Pinterest account. It's that easy!

By far Valentine's Day is my next favorite holiday after Christmas. I love making or cooking special things for my husband, kids and my mom. It's one of those times of year where you could really over do it with hearts, ribbons and glitter. 💝

This winter has been very mild in Florida and I am so happy about that, since I have a small garden. My garden has been producing green peppers, tomatoes, and I have three avocado trees that are growing nicely as well. I have plans on planting a few more vegetables this year and hope they do well, since I am a novice at gardening.

This week I shared this sweet Happy Valentine's Day rag wreath over at Rustic & Refine.

It has been raining like crazy. We definitely need the rain. It is also cold, but not as cold as some of the states you all live in. I am a California girl, so when it is cold, I feel it!

Our power went out for 18 hours, so we were roughing it a bit. On top of that, our gas fireplace quit working and the repairman is not coming out until Friday. It's a good thing, we have a wood fireplace as a backup. We ended up making coffee by boiling the water and using a paper towel as a filter. needless to say, we were quite happy to get our power back on and enjoy our Jura coffee station.
